Dane Myers, an outfielder for the Miami Marlins, had a notable game against the Boston Red Sox, including catching and dropping a two-run home run ball. In the ninth inning, he hit a game-tying solo home run that contributed to a comeback victory. However, he faced heckling from fans in the stands, receiving inappropriate comments that he found offensive. Although one fan was ejected, Myers remarked that he struggled with how to handle the situation, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect between players and fans.
I wouldn't ever go into the stands or do anything like that. Just kind of letting them know I'm a person, too. I'm a human, too, so I want some respect as well.
I won't necessarily get into exactly what I heard. But I basically said, 'Would you be saying this if you're on the field right in my face?' It was basically the one guy, and it kind of got the whole section going.
